But I disagree with Airborne Artist’s reference to Col H Jones VC – his men were pinned down and the heroic action, which was successful, was what was required from their chief – who else had that special bond with his men that could have instantly encouraged and motivated them to undertake that precipitous and brave action other than their respected Colonel?
What??? ISTR his 2i/c came along with a cool head and actually sorted it out.
